I have been having a crazy productive few days, and have finished and/or written four fics that need beta'ing before posting. When I have too many fics in my "To Post" mental file, I have a hard time focusing on new stuff. IDK, does anyone else feel that way?

Any volunteers? You can comment here, PM me, or shoot me an email at whoisyourb@gmail.com.

In other news: MN is so cold that the weather warning is basically, "GO OUTSIDE AND YOUR FACE WILL FREEZE OFF." I get that the National Weather Service is giving us important information, and that they need the general public to take it seriously, but they always put their releases in capslock which makes me feel like a drill sergeant is yelling at me.

A WIND CHILL WARNING MEANS THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.

From now on, in my head, I'm going to pretend it's Professor Snape reading it to Harry Potter. "This will result in...frost bite. And lead to hypothermia, or," raised eyebrow, "death. If...precautions...are not taken. Now open your books to page 394."
